ferrosilicon consumes more electricity.

ferrosilicon is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon.

ferrosilicon is an iron-silicon alloy made from coke, steel chips and Shi Ying (or silica) by electric furnace smelting. Because silicon and oxygen are easy to synthesize silicon dioxide, ferrosilicon is often used as deoxidizer in steelmaking. At the same time, because a lot of heat is released when SiO2 is generated, it is beneficial to improve the temperature of molten steel while deoxidizing.

At the same time, ferrosilicon can also be used as an alloying element additive, which is widely used in low-alloy structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel and electrical silicon steel. Ferrosilicon is often used as a reducing agent in ferroalloy production and chemical industry.

Extended information:

75# ferrosilicon is often used in the high-temperature smelting process of magnesium metal in Pidgeon process. When magnesium in CaO.MgO is replaced, about 1.2 tons of ferrosilicon is consumed for every ton of magnesium metal, which plays a great role in the production of magnesium metal. Use in other ways. The ground or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as suspended phase in mineral processing industry. It can be used as a coating for covered electrode in covered electrode manufacturing industry. High-silicon ferrosilicon can be used to make products such as silicone in chemical industry.
